An elementary school teacher in Chesapeake, Virginia has been charged with the assault of a 10-year-old girl, leaving a mother outraged and a community demanding answers.
Tara Harris was criminally charged with a misdemeanor in October 2013, and remains under investigation for allegedly cutting a student’s hand while forcing her to perform Islamic hand gestures in class.
“It’s still a criminal charge. It happened at the school and it involved a student,” Kosinski said. The police department could not release any additional information, TheBlaze reported.

Stephanie Bennett, the mother of the 10-year-old girl who was allegedly assaulted at Butts Road Intermediate School, told TheBlaze in an emotional phone interview that Harris has a disturbing trend of “indoctrinating” students with Islamic teachings. She also said the teacher openly campaigns for President Barack Obama in the classroom.
Bennett’s daughter suffers from a learning disorder that makes it more difficult for her to mimic the hand signs the teacher was making.
“The teacher was going over Islamic hand signs with the children — she stayed on this issue for two days straight during their reading and math class,” Bennett said.
Because the girl was unable to do the Islamic hand sign after two days of instruction, Harris was angered and grabbed the girls fingers, attempting to twist them into the Islamic gesture for “power and strength.”
“When she didn’t get it right, [Harris] went over and yanked her hand out of her desk and my daughter’s hand got hung up on the metal wire on her file folder and the skin got caught on it,” Bennett explained. “The other children saw my daughter’s hand dripping with blood after the teacher had gotten so mad that she went to twist my daughter’s hand into an Islamic sign.”
Bennett said her daughter told her that Harris “prays to Allah in Arabic” around five times a day in front of her student and instructs them on how Islam is superior to all other religions.
Another parent claims her son confirms the story and was “scared” to go back to school.
Bennett is angry that she wasn’t informed when another complaints surfaced that Harris was campaigning for Barack Obama in the classroom and criticizing Mitt Romney.
Harris was placed on administrative leave immediately after the incident. Reports of her termination have not been confirmed.
